We moved to 10309 in November, '13, from Oakwood. We order Chinese 5-7 times a month, some times, more. After, ordering from every take-out joint is the 10309 zip code, and wondering how these places could possibly stay in business, with the horrendous crap served up by the likes of: Loon-y Chaun, un-Happy mis-Fortune, Hong Kong Wok--it rhymes with . . ., Islander Taste-less, and a couple others, all equally bad, and worse, I decided to change my search to Chinese food 10312 instead of 10309. That's when I found Peking Taste--Gods be Praised! The little things: They always, like everyone else, say 20 minutes for delivery, and after #8 ,so far, they haven't been late yet, The drivers are actually friendly, and neer fail to say thank you! My favorite dish is the Pineapple Duck. Their process produces perfectly cooked moist meat, with the fat rendered out, and nice crispy skin. I could eat it naked, but, the pineapple sauce--much like Sweet and Sour Chicken sauce, loaded with pineapple chunks, YUM. The General Tso's Chicken has green peppers, onion, and much better than the average couple of broccoli florets. Only problem is that it's supposed to be spicy hot. Even when I requested it extra hot, there was no heat! Except tonight when a guy whose accent was native NY did I get , finally, a hot and spicy entree' ! The egg-rolls have very good flavor, everything tastes very good. Oh, yea, the prices are so low,, I almost didn't order when I saw them thinking that with...

So im new to the neighborhood, tried this place bc it has the best review average in my area. I asked that the delivery person come with change of a hundred, and he came with it in a ready made bundle (i should have checked first/my fault) I pulled out 5 singles for the tip and closed the door. Well I have 45, which means he shorted me 5 dollars change. The crab rangoon pastry was undercooked. The chicken wings were flavorful but over fried (not in a good way). The egg foo young itself was tasty but the brown sauce tastes like someone added way too much oil. My kid ate the rice but not the beef so there’s their review. Basically, and like another reviewer said the best thing was the egg roll. but then again they also only gave me two sauces. Next time im craving chinese I will take the 10 min drive to Island kitchen by the mall. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK...
Read moreI have been a loyal customer of Peking Taste for over 10 years. I ordered food last night or something like it for delivery. My order was large chicken & broccoli, order of steamed vegetable dumplings, 2 egg rolls and large Wonton soup. The dumplings were uncooked and had zero taste, the egg rolls were soggy and greasy instead of being crispy and the Wonton soup was ice cold. The food was hardly edible and lacked any taste. I spent $35.00 for my order plus $6.00 tip. In the future I will not be ordering from Peking Taste on Arden Avenue, Staten Island and will advise all my friends and family to do the same.
